This unusual and interesting book is an account of the world of Chinese writing. It examines Chinese space and the political and social use of writing as propaganda, a publicity booster and as a ladder for social climbing.
"Drawing on both written material and on ethnography of popular conceptions, this book aims to show that calligraphy and writing in China is a highly empowered cultural form through which power is articulated, social relations lubricated, deep knowledge extracted and one''s relationship with the world is interpreted, ultimately indicating and formulating Chinese personhood."--BOOK JACKET.
